Aussie innovation at its best!!

Australian government should be promoting this app to the world. Recognise a market leader that could make a global impact.

Tesla ought to buy it and integrate into its own software.

No extra hardware required but a simple software solution to feed excess solar to your car.

Can’t discuss EV’s with friends and family without mentioning Charge HQ. It literally convinces people to go EV path.

Car running on sunshine

This app is an absolute must to get as much of those precious solar kWh straight to the car's battery. Other than long drives, my car is almost exclusively powered by solar thanks to Charge HQ.
The developer is very responsive and engaged with the user community, which is a big plus.

Perfect way to charge your vehicle on solar

This app supplies the missing link in the Tesla app, allowing you to capture the excess solar into the vehicle instead of sending it back to the utility. Excellent design, easy to use and understand. And at a reasonable price given what it saves you. Excellent app.

Tesla solar must-have

Must have for Tesla owners! Out of the box any extra free Solar is siphoned to the car. Much cheaper than buying a car smart charger!

It’s OK

I’m trying it out because I like data. I don’t have solar, I don’t use the app to control my EVSE. Hourly usage is what I’m looking for. I would like to see a way to export the data so it can be added to a spread sheet.

Excellent app

We have a Tesla Model Y, the Tesla wall charger and a Fronius inverter and smart meter. Setup was genuinely painless and we were up and running in 10 minutes - amazing!

It’s a great feeling charging the car entirely from sunlight. Pricing is very reasonable given the work that the devs have put in and the potential cost savings. Thoroughly recommended.

Promising but can’t manage the basics

I had high hopes and it all looked very promising.

But imagine how let down felt when despite not turning anything on (Charging control turned off, and no schedules set) and the car having a “wait until set”, plugging the car in and Charge HQ starts it charging. And gets all miffed if I stop it outside the app.

If it can’t even manage being turned off what hope does it have for working right when turned on.

Scheduled charging doesn’t work

Tried it a few times. Nothing happens.

Solar Car!

Once set up Charge HQ painlessly matches the output of our Fronius solar inverter with our Tesla charger. I’ve been using it for a couple of months, highly recommend. The best way to value add solar output, turn it into ‘petrol’. The set up process was a little technical but not really difficult. Big thanks to the developers.

Works exceptionally well with Tesla car and Powerwall

The app is good with enough advanced features to get things working the way you want to. Charge rate changes are very responsive with Powerwall data. Really a very solid piece of software.
